What do you like best?

It has helped our staff be on the same page and receive/exchange emails and database so easily! I especially love being able to access all cloud apps and data via my mobile phone.

What do you dislike?

At first there were glitches (when program first launched) but they have since fixed them. Throughout the improvements that have been made, we feel like this is a solid and secure suite!

Recommendations to others considering the product

Definitely worth trying! I highly recommend switching or adding this software to your business as it will provide a greater sense of productivity and fluid flow between workplace, home and being on the go!

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Efficiency, ease, consistency, and helped us to work as a business. This has also enabled all of our staff to deliver, exchange apps and data thought all of our devices, while feeling quite secure about the process.

What do you like best?

I like the brand new look of it. It is extremely sophisticated and so easy to use. I had a similar one at home (at least a little bit more advanced) and now I have a more advanced one at work that has made my day to day task so much more organized.

What do you dislike?

I dislike how at first it was a bit complicated to understand. I kind of felt inexperienced for a second because a lot of the stuff were in different locations and I couldn't find what tool I needed for a specific task. I didn't take that long to learn it but it took me a bit to get it together.

My biggest struggle is the use of Microsoft Access. It is my most essential tool but it has taken me a long time to really get a grasp but I need more. I need more guidance on how to use it.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Microsoft is my primary source for all of my tasks at work. I use Outlook for my emails. Excel for all of my spreadsheets, pivots, charts, etc. Notebook to keep personal and work information that I need to remember. I just recently started learning Access because I had so much information in my excel spreadsheets that the spreadsheet kept crashing on me so with access I am able to keep all of the information together and it can handle the volume of work that I need.

What do you like best?

I used Microsoft Enterprise while working at my Corporate Marketing Job. It was a great tool to bring all of our teams together, to collaborate and get things done more efficiently.

What do you dislike?

I was fortunate not to have any dislikes. I liked the product and so did our teams. It worked well for our office and our different departments to be on the same page with projects, email, calendars, etc. I did have a few problems with being signed up, but the support team resolved my issue very quickly.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Just that it was really easy to use and if your company is debating on switching, go for it.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We solved the problem of bringing our teams together by being able to have access to files, email, calendar, scheduling etc, all at the same time. It worked very well because at the time we had many different departments needing to collaborate with one another.

What do you like best?

Value. EMS is a swiss army knife that solves many things outright, but makes many existing apps better without having to re-architect what I have. Rather than a silo'ed solution that don't talk to each other, it's more of a comprehensive platform play that fills a lot of gaps without having to buy many single purpose solutions. Sure, it operates in well defined spaces like MDM, Single Sign On or item level Encryption but it also extends functionality in existing apps like adding Multi-Factor auth, intrusion detection and even secure internet access to an on-prem SharePoint intranet. The same goes for extending Exchange or even a traditional File Server.

What do you dislike?

Windows Phone support via Intune - the fact that for a couple users in an environment, I have to maintain a MS developer account ($100 / yr) + Symantec Code Signing Certs (~$200 / yr) is just ridiculous. With Android, it's immediately compatible, for iOS all I need is a quick certificate exchange. For Windows Workstations I only need DNS entries. Why in the world would I need to go through days of extra hoops to support Microsoft's own devices?

Recommendations to others considering the product

Understand the breadth of what it does first. No matter what someone tries to sell you, it's not Apples to Apples. No other identity provider is offering exchange encryption integration, and no MDM vendor is offering intrusion detection tools. Since the product spans so many areas, it's kind of tough to evaluate, you need the security guys, mobile device support staff, and networking team - as well as whoever deals with your Microsoft licenses in the same room. If you can get the right audience like a CIO to listen for a few minutes, unless there are very unusual business needs it's usually a no brainer. Overall it's been really well received where I've deployed it.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I'm using EMS to solve a laundry list of problems with my clients.

While barely talked about from Microsoft, one of the most impactful pieces has been the Web Application Proxy. With a 4 mb download and nothing more than outbound internet access on a single server, I can securely share my internal web apps (SharePoint, OWA, SSRS, ConfigMgr reporting, and Service Manager along with various other 3rd party apps) to an iPad in a few minutes with Single Sign On. No VPN or swiss cheese firewalls required. Given that it replaces the need for expensive (6 figures) reverse proxy appliances in that situation, that's huge.

Being early on the Advanced Threat Analytics train, I also can finally answer the old question of "How would you know you've been hacked?" with some confidence. In some early proof of concept deployments, we immediately detected some schedules tasks that were sending sensitive accounts in the clear - we'd have had no idea otherwise that this was happening. Given the expense of other SEIM tools, this more or less came along for the ride. It does seem to answer different questions than some of the other tools out there though, so I consider it more of an enhanced surface area than a direct replacement for other event monitoring tools.

We've also set up automatic RMS encryption of emails based on subject line or who sent it as well as automatic protection of SharePoint libraries, so that as soon as a user uploads the files, it's automatically audited and encrypted just incase it is ever saved outside of where we want it.

In other places, EMS has been a direct replacement for existing MDM/SSO products.

What do you like best?

I like it because it was easy to use while working in a difficult environment at work. It made my work go faster and it worked wonders.

What do you dislike?

I did not like the set up of this product and I think it could be better with a little bit of work. Otherwise, it is great.

Recommendations to others considering the product

It is easy to use and can be quickly learned. It works wonders at the office and the projects I have done.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I have created a bunch of spreadsheets that benefited the company on monitoring and saving the company's money based off what I used on this product. It was very beneficial at the work place and a lot of my co-workers would love to get on board and start using it themselves.

What do you like best?

Easy to setup in few steps and fast to configure and have ready. Very easy to publish internal applications and have devices enrolled and managed. Supports multi factor authentication.

What do you dislike?

No on-prem option for intune and missing a lot of the functionality provided by on-prem deployments, specially when it comes to the security requirements. Managing access to published applications through the Azure AD Application Proxy was a challenge.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Try it out and if it fulfills your requirements I believe it is a good option to consider. Some of our requirements were a little bit more advanced.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

What do you like best?

It protects Office better, saves you money, more secure, & comprehensive. It is currently the only solution designed to protect your Microsoft Office email, files, and apps that I have found. Also in my experience it costs significantly less than the cost of buying standalone solutions from other vendors in the same arena.

What do you dislike?

It is still costly and could be cost-prohibitive for a small business to utilize.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Compare the cost of other similar systems to really ensure this will fit your needs and you will be happier once purchase is made - wont feel like you are overpaying if you know what the competition has to offer at their own cost.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Working to merge logins for multiple systems and have single sign on for them - hoping to reduce IT staff needs.
